Per quote from ADG's ADA:
"At about 58 gallons gallons, its trimless construction lends to the impression of a larger tank."
That's the info for the 90-P.

For the 75-P, it said:
"At about 42 gallons gallons, its trimless construction lends to the impression of a larger tank."

Not sure who's really right, but that's what the official website says. I have a 90-P; maybe I will run the measurement when I set it up

when I worked it out online it did come up to about 48 gallons. That is just going off the specs of it not actually measuring it.

(36 in) x (18 in) x (18 in) = 50.4935063 US gallons.

It seems you beat me. I just popped the inches into google calculator.

Yeah, I did the conversion from cm to in and got those numbers too. At the moment, too lazy to convert to volume. But either way, it's still a nice tank with great dimension The metal stand looks really cool too. Somehow, I like it more so than the cabinet ones.

the actural gallon is less. the 75p is about 40g. but it would be less than that due to the thickness of the glass, all for sides and base. the thinkness is about 8mm so about .315" so the lenght and the width will lost a total of .62" each, and the hight will lose a total of .315
so the actural gallon it holds is



90p inside the glass is 34.77x17.07x17.385 44.7g if you fill the tank all the way
75p inside the glass is 28.87x17.07x17.385 37.1g if you fill the tank all the way

Bryan,
Tank looks awesome! Great job man!
Now, DO NOT PUT DISCUS IN THIS TANK!! Please don't! That is not a discus layout at all amd they really like to be in groups. This tank is just too small.

I have corrected the gallon approximations on the site. Sorry for the misinfo.

The 90cm is about 48 gallons and the 120cm is about 64 gallons.

thanks Jeff, it is a change in progress. It was my first try at the sand forground. I like it. Wish I had access to more wood and stones though. Appreciate the discus comments. I think my mind has been made up not to already. Looking for ember tetras in mass quantities.
